IGT 06/08 Mets vs Phils Let's Keep it Going Part III

[Edgy MD]

It's a Marte partay

Hey, we're in Britain. It's a do.

[Lefty Specialist]

This turf is really fast- you're gonna see a lot of doubles.

[ashie62]

Very drab stadium and grounds

The infield has a 1980's look about it

[Lefty Specialist]

It is blisteringly hot here, something that was not on my bingo card.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Pierzynski talking about Manaea's second innings as though they weren't a freak

[Frayed Knot]

Heard on the radio today that micc-up players get a cool $10,000 for their troubles.
Probably not a tough chore to find one to work with given those conditions.
It came up on account of Kiki Hernandez, micc-up during the Apple game
last night, made an error while he was chatting.

[Lefty Specialist]

No doubter by Bryce there.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

I know it's a huge stadium but Harpers foul ball to left stayed in the air for a long time.

[Frayed Knot]

And now on the other side of the field, that's one Marte gets to two years ago.

[Edgy MD]

Missing that 3-2 pitch is killing us.

[metirish]

Falling apart innit

[Frayed Knot]

Well that inning fell apart in a hurry.
Phillies two out hits this inning > NYM two out hits in May

[Lefty Specialist]

Same Mets, different continent .

[Fman99]

Ugh I woke up from my nap just in time to watch thing turn to shit.

[Fman99]

Very drab stadium and grounds

I thought that - on TV I feel like I'm watching the Mets get slaughtered at the Vet like it was the 90s

[metirish]

West Ham left historic Upton Park for this and their fans generally hate the place , poor atmosphere

[Gwreck]

It looks like Marte really mis-read Sosa’s single and everything fell apart from there.

[Lefty Specialist]

Looked like Marte lost that one in the lights. Regardless, your pitcher needs to pick you up there, and Manaea didn't.

[MFS62]

What is Whit doing hitting .178 (and hitting homers against the Mets)?

[Frayed Knot]

Vientos forcing out Marte at 2nd which leaves the slower runner on during the double which = zero runs even though LF bobbles the ball.

They find ways to score runs, we find ways not to.

[Gwreck]

Vientos being unable to score from first on a double with two outs, and the outfielder bobbled it? Not good.

[Lefty Specialist]

Don't understand why they didn't send him there. Need to push the envelope a bit.

[Gwreck]

And on the other hand, Harper stealing while up 5 runs and no outs is an interesting choice.

[MFS62]

And on the other hand, Harper stealing while up 5 runs and no outs is an interesting choice.

But not out of character - he's a butt wipe.
Later

[Frayed Knot]

2nd & 3rd, no outs ... and then no ball leaves the infield for the rest of the inning.
Lather. Rinse. Repeat.
